The solubility of 1‐hexene was measured for linear low‐density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) produced over a heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalyst, Mg(OEt) 2 /DIBP/TiCl 4 –TEA (ZN), and over a homogeneous metallocene catalyst, (2‐MeInd) z ZrCl 2 –MAO (MT). The 1‐hexene solubility in LLDPEs was well represented by the Flory–Huggins equation with a constant value of χ. ZN–LLDPEs dissolved a larger amount of 1‐hexene and thus showed a lower value of χ compared to MT–LLDPEs. The Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ, or the solubility of 1‐hexene at a given temperature and pressure, was suggested as a sensitive measure for the composition distribution of LLDPEs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
